Description
WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 TITLE OF THE INVENTION P2X 3 , RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS FOR TREATMENT OF PAIN FIELD OF THE INVENTION 5 The invention relates generally to compounds which act as modulators, e.g., antagonists of the P2X3 receptor, compositions and therapeutic uses thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Purines, acting via an extracellular purinoreceptor, have been implicated 10 as having a variety of physiological and pathological roles. (See, Burnstock (1993) Drug Dev. Res. 28:195-206.) Purinoreceptors (P2) have been generally categorized as either metabotropic nucleotide receptors or ionotropic receptors for extracellular nucleotides. Metabotropic nucleotide receptors (usually designated P2Y or P2Y(n), where "n" is a subscript integer indicating subtype) are believed to differ from ionotropic receptors (usually designated P2X or P2X(n) in 15 that they are based on a different fundamental means of transmembrane signal transduction: P2Y receptors operate through a G protein-coupled system, while P2X receptors are ligand-gated ion channels. At least seven P2X receptors, and the cDNA sequences encoding them, have been identified to date, P2X cDNA was cloned from the smooth muscle of the rat vas deferens 20 (Valera et al. (1994) Nature 371:516-519) and P2X 2 cDNA was cloned from PC12 cells (Brake et al, (1994) Nature 371:519-523). Five other P2X receptors have been found in cDNA libraries by virtue of their sequence similarity to P2Xi and P2X 2 - P2X 3 : Lewis et al. (1995) Nature 377:432-435, Chen et al. (1995) Nature 377:428-431; P2X 4 : Buell et al. (1996) EMBO J. 15:55 62, Seguela et al. (1996) J. Neurosci. 16:448-455, Bo et al. (1995) FEBS Lett. 375:129-133, Soto 25 et al. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:3684-3688, Wang et al. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.220:196-202; P2X 5 : Collo et al. (1996) J. Neurosci. 16:2495-2507, Garcia Guzman et al, (1996) FEBS Lett. 388:123-127; P2X 6 : Collo et al. (1996), supra, Soto et al. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 223:456-460; P2X 7 : Surprenant et al. (1996) Science 272:735-738). For a comparison of the amino acid sequences of rat P2X receptor see Buell et al. 30 (1996) Eur. J. Neurosci. 8:2221-2228, Purinergic receptors, in particular, P2X receptors, are known to function as homomultimeric cation-permeable ion channels and, in some cases, as heteromeric channels consisting of two different P2X receptor subtypes (Lewis et al., Nature 377:432-435 (1995); Le et al., J. Neurosci. 18:7152-7159 (1998); Torres et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 54:989-993 (1998)). The 35 P2X 2 and P2X 3 subunits form functional channels when expressed alone, and can also form a functional heteromultimeric channel that has properties similar to currents seen in native sensory
I
WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 channels when co-expressed. At least one pair of P2X receptor subtypes, P2X 2 and P2X 3 , functions as a heteromeric channel in rat nodose ganglion neurons where it exhibits distinct pharmacological and electrophysiological properties (Lewis et al., supra (1995)). Native P2X receptors are known to form rapidly activated, nonselective cationic 5 channels upon activation by ATP. The channels formed by P2X receptors generally have high Ca2+ permeability (P(ca) /P(N) ). With respect to individual receptors, the P2X 3 purinergic receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel that is selectively permeable to small cations. Known ligands for P2X receptors include natural nucleotides, for example, ATP, UTP, UDP, or synthetic nucleotides, for example 2-methylthioATP. ATP, in addition to its function as an intracellular 10 energy donor, is now recognized as an important neurotransmitter or cotransmitter, in both the central and peripheral nervous system (Ralevic, V., et al., Pharmacol. Rev., 50:413-492 (1998)). It is released from a variety of cell types, including nerve fibers, upon stimulation and produces diverse effects on many tissues by activation of specific membrane receptors including purinoreceptors (P2 receptor) (See Burnstock, G., Pharmacol. Rev., 24:509-581 (1972); 15 Burnstock, G., Cell Membrane Receptor for Drugs and Hormones: A Multidisciplinary Approach, edited by R. W. Straub and L. Bolid. New York: Raven, 1978, p.

1 18). With respect to the P2X purinergic receptor, data suggest that ATP is capable of activating P2X 3 homomeric receptors and P2X 2 /P2X 3 heteromeric receptors where it functions as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord dorsal horn and in primary afferents from sensory ganglia. In 20 vitro, co-expression of P2X 2 and P2X 3 receptor subunits is necessary to produce ATP-gated currents with the properties seen in some sensory neurons. See, Lewis, et al. (1995) Nature 377:432-435. ATP, and to a lesser extent, adenosine, can stimulate sensory nerve endings resulting in intense pain and a pronounced increase in sensory nerve discharge. According to 25 available data, ATP released from damaged cells can evoke pain by activating P2X 3 homomeric receptors, or P2X 2 /P2X 3 heteromeric receptors expressed on nociceptive nerve endings of sensory nerves. This is consistent with reports of the induction of pain by intradermally applied ATP in the human blister-base model; the identification of P2X 3 containing receptor on nociceptive neurons in the tooth pulp; and with reports that P2X antagonists are analgesic in 30 animal models. To date, research data suggests that the mechanism whereby ATP-induced activation of the P2X purinergic receptors on dorsal root ganglion nerve terminals in the spinal cord and on neurons in the brain results in pain sensation is by the stimulation of the release of glutamate, a key neurotransmitter involved in nociceptive signaling. It has also been recently demonstrated that P2X 3 receptor gene disruption results 35 in a diminished sensitivity to noxious chemical stimuli and reduced pain. The nociceptive effects 2 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 of exogenously administered ATP and P2X containing receptor agonists have also been demonstrated in laboratory animals. See Bland-Ward et al., Dr. J. Pharmacol. 122:366-371 (1997); Hamilton et al., Br. J. Phamacol. 126:326- 332 (1999). The peripheral nociceptive actions of P2X activation and stimulation of spinal P2X containing receptor also contribute to 5 nociception as indicated by the ability of intrathecally (i.t.) administered P2 receptor agonists to increase sensitivity to acute and persistent noxious stimuli in rodents. See Driessen et al., Brain Res. 666:182-188 (1994); Tsuda et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 127:449-4S6 (1999); Tsuda et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. 128:1497- 1504 (1999). A selective P2 receptor-mediated increase in ectopic neuronal excitability that is localized to damaged sensory afferents has also been recently 10 reported in rats following chronic constriction nerve injury. See Chen et al., NeuroReport 10:2779-2782 (1999). This role in pain transmission is consistent with the observation that the rat P2X 3 receptor expression is found primarily in a subset of neurons of the sensory ganglia, which are involved in pain transmission. See Chen et al., Nature 377:428-430 (1995); Vulchanova et al., Neuropharmacol. 36:1229-1242 (1997). See also US20080004442, 15 US200700409609, W02007041087, W02006119504, W0200112627, W02007001973 and W02007010553. Taken together, the functional and immunohistochemical localization of P2X 3 containing receptors (P2X 3 and/or P2X2/ 3 ) on sensory nerves indicates that these P2X receptors may have a primary role in mediating the nociceptive effects of ATP. Thus, compounds which 20 block or inhibit activation of P2X 3 receptors serve to block the pain stimulus. More, receptor antagonists to compounds which normally activate the P2X 3 receptor and/or P2X 2 /P2X 3 heteromeric channels, such as ATP, could successfully block the transmission of pain. Indeed, modulators of P2X receptors, e.g., P2X 3 receptor may find use as analgesics. Additionally, compounds that block or inhibit activation of P2X 3 receptors also 25 serve to treat genitourinary, gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, conditions and disorders or receptor antagonists to compounds which normally activate the P2X 3 receptor and/or P2X 2 /P2X 3 heteromeric channels, such as ATP are useful for treatment of genitourinary, gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, conditions and disorders. Bumstock (1999) J Anatomy 194:335-342; and Ferguson et al. (1997) J PhysioL 30 505:503-511 disclose that P2X receptor subunits have been found on afferents in rodent and human bladder urothelium. There data suggests that ATP may be released from epithelial/endothelial cells of the urinary bladder or other hollow organs as a result of distention. ATP released in this manner may serve a role in conveying information to sensory neurons located in subepithelial components, e.g., suburothelial lamina propria (Namasibayam, et al. 35 (1999) BJU Intl. 84:854-860). P2X receptors have been studied in a number of neurons 3 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 including sensory, sympathetic, parasympathetic, mesenteric, and central neurons (Zhong, et al. (1998) Br. J. Pharmacol. 125:771-781). These studies indicate that purinergic receptors play a role in affterent neurotransmission from the bladder, and that modulators of P2X receptors are potentially useful in the treatment of bladder disorders such as urinary incontinence and other 5 genitourinary diseases or conditions. P2X3 receptors have been shown to be expressed in human colon, and are expressed at higher levels in inflamed colon, than in normal colon (Y. Yiangou et al, Neurokastroenterol Mot (2001) 13:365-69). P2X3 receptors have also been implicated in detection of distension or intraluminal pressure in the intestine and initiation of reflex 10 contractions (X. Bian et al. J. Physiol (2003) 551.1:309-22), and have linked this to coilitis (G. Wynn et al., Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol (2004) 287:G647-57). P2X3 receptors also have been shown to be expressed in pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs), implicating the receptor in pain transmission in the lung (Inge Brouns et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol (2000) 23:5206 1). Additionally, P2X2 and P2X3 15 receptors have been implicated in P 0 2 detection in pulmonary NEBs (W. Rong et al., J Neurosci (2003) 23(36):11315-21). However, the utility of available purinergic ligands to evaluate the role of individual P2 receptor subtypes in mammalian physiology has been complicated by the susceptibility of P2 receptor agonists to undergo enzymatic degradation. As well, the study of the 20 role of an individual P2X receptor is hampered by the lack of receptor subtype-specific agonists and antagonists. Consequently, the state of the art begs an inquiry into methods and/or compounds which will provide the ability to regulate or control the P2X receptors, for example, P2X 3 , because control of such receptors will provide the ability to minimize pain in patients in need of 25 such treatment. In addition, for both research and therapeutic purposes there is a need in the art for specific agonists and antagonists for each P2X receptor subtype and, in particular, agents that will be effective in vivo, as well as for methods for identifying purinoreceptor-specific agonist and antagonist compounds. See W09824780, US6420385, US6096753, US6410729, US6649604, 30 US6436972, US6544986, US6977266, and US6610698 for the state of the art regarding compound structures. The present invention aims to overcome some of the aforementioned drawbacks by providing novel P2X3 receptor antagonists that play a critical role in treating disease states associated with pain, in particular peripheral pain, inflammatory pain, or tissue injury pain that 35 can be treated using a P2X3 receptor subunit modulator. 4 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel P2X3 type receptor antagonists of structural formula I: 5 0 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and individual enantiomers and diastereomers thereof wherein: A represents pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, or pyridinonyl; 10 W and Z independently are absent or represent C(R 2 )2, -0-, NR 2 , CO, or 800-2;

When any variable (e.g. aryl, heterocycle, RI, R 5 etc.) occurs more than one time in any constituent, its definition on each occurrence is independent at every other occurrence. 5 Also, combinations of substituents/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. When Ra or R 6 is -0- and attached to a carbon it is referred to as a carbonyl group and when it is attached to a nitrogen (e.g., nitrogen atom on a pyridyl group) or sulfur atom it is referred to a N-oxide and sulfoxide group, respectively. 10 As used herein, "alkyl" encompasses groups having the prefix "alk" such as, for example, alkoxy, alkanoyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl and means carbon chains which may be linear or branched or combinations thereof Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec- and tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, and heptyl. "Alkenyl" refers to a hydrocarbon radical straight, branched or cyclic containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and at least one carbon 15 to carbon double bond. Preferred alkenyl groups include ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl and cyclohexenyl. Preferably, alkenyl is C2-C6 alkenyl. Preferred alkynyls are C2-C6 alkynyl. "Alkenyl," "alkynyl" and other like terms include carbon chains containing at least one unsaturated C-C bond. As used herein, "fluoroalkyl" refers to an alkyl substituent as described herin 20 containing at least one flurine substituent. 67 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 The term "cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated hydrocarbon containing one ring having a specified number of carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl.

There are many types of pain, including, but not limited to, lightning pains, phantom pains, shooting pains, acute pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, complex regional pain, neuralgia, neuropathy, tissue injury 5 pain, and the like (Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 28th Edition, W. B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, Pa.). The goal of treatment of pain is to reduce the degree or severity of pain perceived by a treatment subject. "Treating" or "treatment of" a disease state includes: 1) preventing the disease state, i.e. causing the clinical symptoms of the disease state not to develop in a subject that may 10 be exposed to or predisposed to the disease state, but does not yet experience or display symptoms of the disease state; 2) inhibiting the disease state, i.e., arresting the development of the disease state or its clinical symptoms; 3) or relieving the disease state, i.e., causing temporary or permanent regression of the disease state or its clinical symptoms, Compounds described herein may contain one or more double bonds and may thus give 15 rise to cis/trans isomers as well as other conformational isomers. The present invention includes all such possible isomers as well as mixtures of such isomers unless specifically stated otherwise. The compounds of the present invention may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus occur as racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and individual diastereomers. 20 In the compounds of generic Formula I, the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present invention is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of generic Formula . For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include 25 protium (I H) and deuterium ( 2 H). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements, or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. Isotopically-enriched compounds within generic Formula I can be prepared without undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes 30 analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically enriched reagents and/or intermediates. It will be understood that, as used herein, references to the compounds of structural formula I are meant to also include the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and also salts that are not pharmaceutically acceptable when they are used as precursors to the free compounds or in other synthetic 35 manipulations. 71 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 The compounds of the present invention may be administered in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases or acids. When the compound of the present invention is acidic, its corresponding salt can be conveniently prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic 5 bases, including inorganic bases and organic bases. Salts derived from such inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper (ic and ous), ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganese (ic and ous), potassium, sodium, zinc and the like salts. Salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic bases include salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, as well as cyclic amines and substituted amines such as naturally occurring and synthesized substituted amines.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The present compounds and compositions are useful for the treatment of chronic, 5 visceral, inflammatory and neuropathic pain syndromes. They are useful for the treatment of pain resulting from traumatic nerve injury, nerve compression or entrapment, postherpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, small fiber neuropathy, and diabetic neuropathy. The present compounds and compositions are also useful for the treatment of chronic lower back pain, phantom limb pain, chronic pelvic pain, neuroma pain, complex regional pain syndrome, 10 migraines, chronic arthritic pain and related neuralgias, and pain associated with cancer, chemotherapy, HIV and HWV treatment-induced neuropathy. Compounds of this invention may also be utilized as local anesthetics. Compounds of this invention are useful for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and related disorders, as well as Crohn's disease. The instant compounds have clinical uses for the treatment of epilepsy and partial and 15 generalized tonic seizures. They are also useful for neuroprotection under ischaemic conditions caused by stroke or neural trauma and for treating multiple sclerosis. The present compounds are useful for the treatment of tachy-arrhythmias. Additionally, the instant compounds are useful for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, including mood disorders, such as depression or more particularly depressive disorders, for example, single episodic or recurrent major depressive disorders and dysthymic disorders, 20 or bipolar disorders, for example, bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder and cyclothymic disorder; anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, agoraphobia without history of panic disorder, specific phobias, for example, specific animal phobias, social phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, stress disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder, and generalised anxiety disorders. Thus, another aspect of this invention is the use of the compounds of 25 formula I in the manufacture of a medicament to treat pain and other diseases associated with pain. Compounds of Formula I also may be used alone or in combination with other drugs in the treatment/prevention/suppression or amelioration of the diseases, conditions, or disorders such as overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, and urinary urgency. In addition to primates, such as humans, a variety of other mammals can be treated 30 according to the method of the present invention. For instance, mammals including, but not limited to, cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats guinea pigs, or other bovine, ovine, equine, canine, feline, rodent such as mouse, species can be treated. However, the method can also be practiced in other species, such as avian species (e.g., chickens). It will be appreciated that for the treatment of depression or anxiety, a compound 35 of the present invention may be used in conjunction with other anti-depressant or anti-anxiety 73 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 agents, such as norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (RIMAs), serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), a-adrenoreceptor antagonists, atypical anti-depressants, benzodiazepines, 5-HTIA agonists or antagonists, especially 5-HTA 5 partial agonists, neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonists, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Further, it is understood that compounds of this invention can be administered at prophylactically effective dosage levels to prevent the above-recited conditions and disorders, as well as to prevent other conditions and disorders associated with calcium channel activity. 10 Creams, ointments, jellies, solutions, or suspensions containing the instant compounds can be employed for topical use. Mouth washes and gargles are included within the scope of topical use for the purposes of this invention. Dosage levels from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 140 mg/kg of body weight per day are useful in the treatment of inflammatory and neuropathic pain, or alternatively about 0.5 mg to 15 about 7 g per patient per day. For example, inflammatory pain may be effectively treated by the administration of from about 0.01mg to about 75 mg of the compound per kilogram of body weight per day, or alternatively about 0.5 mg to about 3.5 g per patient per day. Neuropathic pain may be effectively treated by the administration of from about 0.01 mg to about 125 mg of the compound per kilogram of body weight per day, or alternatively about 0.5 mg to about 5.5 g per 20 patient per day. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. For example, a formulation intended for the oral administration to humans may conveniently contain from about 0.5 mg to about 5g of active agent, compounded 25 with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material which may ary from about 5 to about 95 percent of the total composition. Unit dosage forms will generally contain between from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient, typically 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg or 1000 mg. It is understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient 30 will depend upon a variety of factors. Such patient-related factors include the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient. Other factors include the time and route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy. In practice, the compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts 35 thereof, can be combined as the active ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical 74 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, e.g., oral or parenteral (including intravenous). Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be presented as discrete units suitable for oral administration such as capsules, 5 cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient. Further, the compositions can be presented as a powder, as granules, as a solution, as a suspension in an aqueous liquid, as a non-aqueous liquid, as an oil-in-water emulsion or as a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. In addition to the common dosage forms set out above, the compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may also be administered by controlled 10 release means and/or delivery devices. The compositions may be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy. In general, such methods include a step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier that constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both. The product can then be conveniently shaped 15 into the desired presentation. Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be included in pharmaceutical compositions in combination with one or more therapeutically active compounds. 20 The pharmaceutical carrier employed can be, for example, a solid, liquid, or gas. Examples of solid carriers include lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid. Examples of liquid carriers are sugar syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, and water. Examples of gaseous carriers include carbon dioxide and nitrogen. As described previously, in preparing the compositions for oral dosage form, any of the usual 25 pharmaceutical media can be employed. For example, in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like may be used; or in the case of oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules and tablets, carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents, and the like may 30 be included. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form in which solid pharmaceutical carriers are employed. If desired, tablets may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. In addition to the common dosage forms set out above, controlled release means and/or delivery devices may also be used in administering the instant compounds and compositions. 75 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 In preparing the compositions for oral dosage form, any convenient pharmaceutical media may be employed. For example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like may be used to form oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions; while carriers such as starches, sugars, 5 microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents can be used to form oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules are advantageous oral dosage units whereby solid pharmaceutical carriers are employed. Optionally, tablets may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques 10 A tablet containing the composition of this invention may be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients or adjuvants. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a 15 suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Each tablet advantageously contains from about 0.1 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient and each cachet or capsule advantageously containing from about 0.1 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient. Thus, a tablet, cachet, or capsule conveniently contains 0.1 mg, 1 mg, 5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, or 500 mg of the active ingredient taken one or 20 two tablets, cachets, or capsules, once, twice, or three times daily. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for parenteral administration may be prepared as solutions or suspensions of the active compounds in water. A suitable surfactant can be included such as, for example, hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. 25 Further, a preservative can be included to prevent the detrimental growth of microorganisms. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. Furthermore, the compositions can be in the form of sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of such sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the final injectable form must be sterile and must be effectively fluid for 30 easy syringability. The pharmaceutical compositions must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage, and thus should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), vegetable oils, and suitable mixtures thereof. 76 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical use such as, for example, an aerosol, cream, ointment, lotion, and dusting powder. Further, the compositions can be in a form suitable for use in transdermal devices. These formulations may be prepared, utilizing a compound represented of the invention, or 5 pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, via conventional processing methods. As an example, a cream or ointment is prepared by mixing hydrophilic material and water, together with about 5 wt% to about 10 wt% of the compound, to produce a cream or ointment having a desired consistency. Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be in a form suitable for rectal 10 administration wherein the carrier is a solid, such as, for example, where the mixture forms unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art. The suppositories may be conveniently formed by first admixing the composition with the softened or melted carrier(s) followed by chilling and shaping in moulds. In addition to the aforementioned carrier ingredients, the pharmaceutical 15 formulations described above may include, as appropriate, one or more additional carrier ingredients such as diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, surface-active agents, thickeners, lubricants, and preservatives (including anti-oxidants). Furthermore, other adjuvants can be included to render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. Compositions containing a compound of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts 20 thereof, can also be prepared in powder or liquid concentrate form. Further, as described above, the instant compounds can be utilized in combination with one or more therapeutically active compounds. In particular, the inventive compounds can be advantageously used in combination with i) opiate agonists or antagonists, ii) other calcium channel antagonists, iii) 5HT receptor agonists or antagonists, including 5-HTiA agonists or 25 antagonists, and 5-HTIA partial agonists, iv) sodium channel antagonists, v) N-methyl-D aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonists or antagonists, vi) COX-2 selective inhibitors, vii) neurokinin receptor I (NKI) antagonists, viii) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), ix) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and/or selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRI), x) tricyclic antidepressant drugs, xi) norepinephrine modulators, 30 xii) lithium, xiii) valproate, xiv) norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, xv) monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), xvi) reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (RIMAs), xvii)alpha adrenoreceptor antagonists, xviii) atypical anti-depressants, xix) benzodiazepines, xx) corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonists, xxi) neurontin (gabapentin) and xxii) pregabalin. 77 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 The abbreviations used herein have the following meanings (abbreviations not shown here have their meanings as commonly used unless specifically stated otherwise): Ac (acetyl), Bn (benzyl), Boc (tertiary-butoxy carbonyl), Bop reagent (benzotriazol-l yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosonium hexafluorophosphate, CAMP (cyclic adenosine-3',5' 5 monophosphate), DAST ((diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride), DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec 7-ene), DIBAL (diisobutylaluminum hydride), DIEA (diisopropylethyl amine), DMAP (4 (dimethylamino)pyridine), DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide), DPPF (1,1 '-bisdiphenylphosphino ferrocene), EDC (1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride), Et 3 N (triethylamine), GST (glutathione transferase), HOBt (1 -hydroxybenzotriazole), LAH (lithium 10 aluminum hydride), Ms (methanesulfonyl; mesyl; or SO 2 Me), Mso (methanesulfonate or mesylate), MCPBA (meta-chloro perbenzoic acid), NaHMDS (sodium hexamethyldisilazane), NBS (N-bromosuccinimide), NCS (N-chlorosuccinimide), NSAID (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug), PDE (Phosphodiesterase), Ph (Phenyl), r.t. or RT (room temperature), Rac (Racemic), SAM (aminosulfonyl; sulfonamide or SO 2

Animals will be delivered to the laboratory at least 5 days before the experiments during which time they are acclimatized to laboratory conditions. Rats will be housed in groups of 4, 5 or 6 in macrolon cages (41 x 25 x 14 cm or 44 x 28 x 19 cm) on wood with free access to food and water until tested (or as indicated otherwise). The animal house will be maintained under artificial lighting (12 hours) between 7.00 and 19.00 in a controlled ambient temperature of 21 ±3*C, 25 and relative humidity maintained at 40-70%. Information related to any clinical signs and mortality will be archived with the study materials. 112 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 After overnight food-deprivation, male Sprague-Dawley rats are slightly anesthetized (isoflurane) and injected with 1% acetic acid into the colon (1.5 ml) using a cannula of 5 cm in length. After a recovery period of 75 minutes, rats are again slightly anesthetized (isoflurane) and a latex balloon of 1.5 cm in length tightly attached to a catheter is inserted via the anus into the descending colon and 5 rectum. Anesthesia is then immediately discontinued, 15 minutes later, the test substance is administered p.o. 60 minutes after administration, the balloon is filled with 1.2 ml of water and the number of abdominal contractions is counted for 10 minutes. 10 rats are studied per group. The test is performed blind. The test substance will be evaluated at 3 doses, and compared with the vehicle group.

Surgery and post-operative care 15 For the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) procedure, male Sprague Dawley rats (100-200 g; Harlan) are anesthetized using isoflurane (1-5%; inhalation). Using aseptic technique, a dorsal midline incision is made from approximately spinal nerve L3 to S2. A combination of sharp and blunt dissection is used to expose the L6/SJ posterior interarticular process. The L6 transverse process is visualized and removed, and the L4 and L5 spinal nerves are exposed distal to their emergence from the intervertebral foramina. 20 The L5 nerve is then tightly ligated with 6-0 silk suture. The muscle is closed with 4-0 absorbable suture and the skin is closed with wound clips. Postoperative monitoring is carried out to assure that animals are exposed to the least amount of pain as possible. Animals are housed in pairs on bedding and are monitored (2x) daily for three days post-operatively by Laboratory Animal Resource staff and then daily by investigator for any signs of possible distress, 25 b. Behavioral testing 113 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 Prior to surgery, rats are tested for pre-surgery mechanical hind paw withdrawal thresholds by applying a series of calibrated von Frey filaments (0.25 - 15 g) to the left hind paw and determining the median withdrawal threshold using the Dixon "up-down" method (Chaplan et al., J Neurosci Meth 53:55, 1994). Rats are placed in individual plastic chambers on an elevated mesh galvanized steel platform and 5 allowed to acclimate for 60 min. Pre-surgery mechanical hind paw withdrawal thresholds are determined, and rats having a threshold <15 g are excluded from the study. Following determination of pre-surgery withdrawal thresholds, rats undergo the SNL procedure described above. Between 28-35 days following the surgical procedure, rats are tested for post-surgery thresholds using the procedure described above, and animals displaying a hind paw withdrawal threshold <4.0 g are considered 10 allodynic (i.e. mechanical hypersensitivity). Effects of test compounds on SNL-induced mechanical hypersensitivity are determined by dosing the compound along with a vehicle control group and a group receiving the positive comparator pregabalin (20 mg/kg, p.o.). Efficacy in the SNL model is evaluated by determining the % reversal of mechanical hypersensitivity using the formula: (post-drug threshold - post-surgery threshold) 15 % reversal = ------------------------------- X 100 (pre-surgery threshold - post-surgery threshold) At the conclusion of the study, all rats are euthanized using CO 2 and plasma and brain tissue are collected for bioanalytical analysis of drug exposures. In vivo Complete Freunds adjuvant (CFA) model 20 Male Sprague Dawley rats (300-400 g; Charles River) receive an intradermal injection of CFA (200 ul, 0.5 mg/ml) into the plantar aspect of the left hind paw and are subsequently returned to their cages where they are maintained on soft bedding. 72 hrs following CFA injection rats are tested for post CFA mechanical hind paw withdrawal thresholds by wrapping the rat in a towel and placing the hind paw (either left or right) in a modified Randall-Sellito paw pinch apparatus (Stoelting, Wood Dale, IL). A 25 plastic bar attached to a lever is placed on the dorsum of the hind paw, and an increasing force is applied to the hind paw until the rat vocalizes or pulls its hind paw away from the bar. The rat's hind paw withdrawal threshold is recorded at that point. The mechanical stimulus is applied to each hind paw 2 times, and the average post-CFA mechanical hind paw withdrawal thresholds are determined for both the left and right hind paw. Following determination of post-CFA withdrawal thresholds, rats receive test 30 compound, vehicle, or the positive comparator naproxen (30 mg/kg, p.o.), and effects of compounds on withdrawal thresholds for the inflamed (CFA) hind paw are determined. Efficacy in the CFA model is evaluated by determining the % reversal of mechanical hypersensitivity using the formula: (post-drug threshold left hind paw - post-CFA threshold ift hind paw) 114 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 % reversal = ----------------------------------------- X 100 (post-CFA threshold right hind paw - post-CFA threshold left hind paw) At the conclusion of the study, all rats are euthanized using CO 2 and plasma and brain tissue are collected for bioanalytical analysis of drug exposures. 5 Cystometry in normal healthy rats Female Sprague-Dawley rats weighed 250-350 g were housed in a temperature- and light (12-h light/dark cycle)-controlled room, and were allowed access to food and water ad libitum. The animals were anesthetized with urethane (1.0 g/kg, i.p.). Supplemental urethane was given if necessarily. A lower abdominal midline incision was made to expose the bladder, and a polyethylene catheter (PE-50) was 10 inserted into the bladder dome for recording the intravesical pressure and intravesical infusion of physiological saline at the rate of 0.05 ml/min. The intravesical pressure was measured using a pressure transducer, and signal was recorded using a multiple channel data acquisition system (Power lab, AD Instruments, Biopac systems, Colorado Springs, CO) at a sampling rate of 10 Hz. After confirming stable inter-micturtion interval and micturition pressure by intravesical infusion of saline, the drugs were 15 administered intravenously (0.25 ml/kg). Intermicturition interval (functional bladder capacity) and micturition pressure (maximum intravesical pressure) were obtained from micturitions prior to dosing (baseline) and between 5 to 30 min after dosing using Chart program (v5.5.4, AD Instruments), and calculated the ratio to baseline.

Intracellular Calcium Measurement to Assess Antagonist Affinity - A fluorescent imaging plate reader 15 (FLIPR; Molecular Devices) was used to monitor intracellular calcium levels using the calcium-chelating dye Fluo-4 (Molecular Probes). The excitation and emission wavelengths used to monitor fluorescence were 488 nm and 530 nm, respectively. Cells expressing either human P2X 3 or human P 2 X23 were plated at a density of 20,000 cells/well (20 pl/well) in 384-well black-walled plates approximately 20 hours before beginning the assay.

Ten minutes prior to adding agonist, the antagonist was added in a volume of 10 p1 and allowed to incubate at room temperature. During this period fluorescence data is collected at 3 see intervals followed by 10 sec intervals. The agonist, a,p-meATP, is added at a 6x concentration ([a,p-meATP]jfl, 25 = EC 50 ). Following agonist addition fluorescence was measured at 5 sec intervals and analyzed based on the increase in peak relative fluorescence units (RFU) compared to the basal fluorescence. Peak fluorescence was used to determine the inhibitory effect at each concentration of antagonist by the following equation: 30 % Inhibition - 100 * (1 - ((RFU(dmrg) - RFU(control)) / (RFU(Sso only) - RFU(coetrol)))) In vitro Electrophysiological Assay - Cells expressing human P2X 3 receptors were grown to a confluence of 65-85% 20 to 32 hours prior to assay. The cells were dissociated with trypsin, centrifuged, and resuspended in bath solution at a cell density of 1x10 6 cells/ml and loaded onto PatchXpress. The 35 bath solution contained 150 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCI, 2 mM CaC 2 , 1.2 mM MgC 2 , 10 mM HEPES, and 1 .1 mM glucose, at pH 7.2. The intracellular solution contained either 140 mM K-aspartate, 20 mM 116 WO 2010/051188 PCT/US2009/061409 NaCI, 5 mM HEPES, 10 mM EGTA, at pH 7.2 or 30 mM CsCl, 5 mM HEPES, 10 mM EGTA, 120 mM CsF, 5 mM NaF, 2 mM MgCI2, pH=7.3 with CsOH. Agonist stock solutions were prepared in H20 and diluted in bath solution prior to use. All antagonists were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and diluted in bath solution prior to use. All experiments were performed on cells under the whole-cell 5 patch clamp configuration at room temperature. Up to 16 individual cells could be patch clamped simultaneously on the PatchXpress instrument. A baseline response was established by repeated CTP (100 sM; for 2 sec.) followed by antagonist incubation for 2 min. in the absence of CTP. After antagonist preincubation 100 p.M CTP and antagonist were co-administered to determine the inhibitory effect of the antagonist. These steps were then repeated on the same cell with a range of concentrations 10 of the antagonist. A maximum of five concentrations of antagonist were tested on any individual cell. The control P2X 3 current amplitude (IP2x3-(comn1)) was taken as an average of the peak current amplitude from the last two agonist additions prior to incubation with an antagonist. The peak P2X 3 current amplitude in the presence of an antagonist (IP2x34drug)) was used to calculate the inhibitory effect at each concentration of the antagonist according to the following equation: 15 % inhibition of P2X 3 =1 00*(Inx34eonaroI2x34nag>)/IP2X34control) Each concentration of an antagonist was tested on at least two independent cells. The concentration of drug required to inhibit P2X 3 current by 50% (IC 5 0 ) was determined by fitting of the Hill 20 equation to the averaged % inhibition data at each concentration: % of Control =100 * (1 + ([Drug]/ICso)P) 4 In vitro Electrophysiological Assayfor P2Xj - P 2 Xvs was assayed as above with two protocol 25 modifications: 1) 30 p.M otjp-meATP used as agonist; and 2) current amplitude was measured at the end of 2-second agonist application. Using the assays described herein the compounds of this invention were found to be active for the P2X3 receptor. The compounds of formula I have an IC 50 activity of 100 pM or less for the P2X3 receptor. Many of the compounds of formula I disclosed herein were found to have an IC50 of less than 200 nM. For example, the compounds below have IC 50 <250 nM in the 30 "Intracellular Calcium Measurement to Assess Antagonist Affinity" assay.
